Lily Collias

Lily Collias is an American screen actress from Los Angeles, California, recognized for emotionally precise performances in contemporary indie drama. Raised in Santa Monica, she later relocated to New York City to focus on acting, building her craft through studies at The New School and training with the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute.

Her breakout arrived with Good One (2024), where she plays Sam in India Donaldson’s coming-of-age story. The film made a major festival impact, premiering in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival before traveling to Cannes, where it screened in the Directors’ Fortnight lineup—placing Collias on the radar of international audiences and industry watchers.

Before that breakthrough, Collias appeared as Emma in Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022), adding to a growing résumé that also includes Altar and a role in Cape Fear as Natalie Bowden. Looking ahead, she’s set to appear as Lindsay in Roofman (2025) and in The Young People (2026), continuing her rise across film and prestige storytelling.
